An 18-year-old Dighton man charged with raping a child, indecent assault and battery and other sexual crimes was ordered held Wednesday in lieu of $50,000 cash bail.

Court documents indicate it is the third time Denzel Williams-Judge has been charged with indecent assault and battery on a child. The other cases are still pending.

Williams-Judge, 18, of 2510 Maple Swamp Road, Dighton, was arraigned Wednesday in Taunton District Court on charges of rape of a child with force, indecent assault and battery on a child under age 14, open and gross lewdness, indecent exposure and witness intimidation.

An arrest warrant alleges that the crimes took place in Taunton on Saturday, which was Williams-Judge’s 18th birthday, according to court documents.

In a document stating reasons for setting bail at $50,000, Judge David Turcotte referenced two pending cases against Williams-Judge, in which he is accused of indecent assault and battery on a child under age 14. The cases involve different victims.

The judge also indicated in the court document that Williams-Judge is considered a “very poor risk to appear” in court.

Due to the sexual nature of the criminal charges, the police reports have been impounded by the court, meaning that the public is not allowed to view them.
